The Role

LeafLink is seeking a Lead Software Engineer to join our New York team who is passionate about working with teams that solve interesting, large-scale problems at a rapid pace. This role will focus on the design, buildout, and iteration of LeafLink Financial’s existing and emerging systems, enabling a new (and massive) revenue stream.

Set and drive the architectural design and development objectives for our emerging suite of financial tools based on a flexible product roadmap

Be seen as “the person” by team members - leading by example as a dedicated, flexible technologist who is always looking for the ideal, elegant solution to a problem while still making sure to partner effectively with other areas of the department and company

Help make critical software design decisions that will have a lasting impact on LeafLink Financial’s platform and products as well as leading and mentoring others to do the same

Work collaboratively with multiple agile teams to help deliver end-to-end products and features, seeing them through from conception to delivery

Be able to troubleshoot and diagnose issues quickly and effectively when they arise, bringing calm and rationality to tense situations and providing a clear path forward for team members across multiple areas of the department

Provide technical leadership and help mentor engineering, QA, operations, and product staff to deliver the best possible solutions for the company

Help define, document, evolve, and evangelize high engineering standards and best practices across multiple areas

FROM THE GROUND UP

Defining an industry — not disrupting

When Zach and Co-Founder Ryan Smith began building LeafLink in 2015, they did so based entirely on client needs in an otherwise fledgling field. Today, they’ve onboarded thousands of brands onto their wholesale ordering platform and have set their eyes on going global. With an industry that's still in its infancy, Zach and co. are looking to shape the future of cannabis through the LeafLink platform.

We see our work at LeafLink as an opportunity to define the industry, rather than disrupt it, as cannabis is still young. We move fast, have a lean software development lifecycle and are builders at heart. It can be very exciting, especially for those with an entrepreneurial spirit.

FUTURE PROOFING

Investing today to avoid tech debt tomorrow

Mark’s team is undertaking a large re-architecture that will shift LeafLink’s existing application ecosystem to a platform centered on service-oriented architecture. The move, which includes breaking out functionality into independently-scalable applications, will help engineers prototype, measure impact, iterate on product features and test different solutions as rapidly as the cannabis industry changes.

We’re in the position to challenge and define the cannabis industry and the way technology powers it. Our teams will be working with new technologies, systems, languages and architecture patterns. The opportunity to grow professionally is at an all-time high.

UNCHARTED TERRITORY

Problem-solving in a green industry

UPS and FedEx won’t deliver cannabis shipments. As a result, wholesalers deliver the product themselves — or hire a third party, with logistical communication taking place over phone, email or text. But that can get pretty messy. So, Hostos’ team built out a Trusted Delivery Provider (TDP) concept to clean up workflows on the LeafLink platform, which has smoothed out logistical inefficiencies for companies across the country.

I love working in a space that is evolving daily because it forces my team to truly think through and deliver minimum viable products and lean product enhancements. Some software organizations say they build products in this way, but here, it’s a must, day-in and day-out.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

As cliche as it may sound, one of my favorite things at LeafLink is that no day is ever the same. I’m excited to go into the office every single day to see what the day brings. At LeafLink, EVERYONE has a voice. In addition to the breakout success our service saw in California, my life also drastically changed. I saw my earnings increase over 300%
